Dear All, The figures below shows how few of the researchers in Africa are included in scientific discourse directly affecting themselves. https://minerva.it.manchester.ac.uk/~saralees/PieChart.jpg https://minerva.it.manchester.ac.uk/~saralees/ZeroField.jpg The first gives percentages of African authorship; the second gives percentages of papers with no Africa affiliated authors by field. If you are reading this email and feel the injustice please could you join EducateAfrica http://www.educateafrica.org.uk/ in the crusade. Many thanks, Saralees You may leave the list at any time by sending the command SIGNOFF allstat to [log in to unmask], leaving the subject line blank.
